*Restrictions apply. Limit of one Interest Checking Account per member account number. Minimum direct deposit of at least $500 at least once-a-month required to open an Interest Checking account. Member must also have a Visa Debit Card, Home Banking and eStatements in order to qualify for Interest Checking. ATM transactions do not count towards the qualifying debit card transactions. Only debit card transactions processed by merchants and received by the Credit Union as point of sale transactions count towards qualifying debit card transactions. All debit transactions must be posted to the account on or before the last day of the month. For Example: If you make a purchase with your debit card on the last day of the month that transaction may NOT post on that day. Debit card point of sale transactions are posted to your account when the merchant sends the settlement information to us. RTP FCU has NO control over when the merchant posts the debit transaction.
